Lard Oil Lamp 1935 - 1942

"Lard Oil Lamp" is a graphite drawing by Milton Grubstein created between 1935 and 1942. The drawing depicts a detailed, realistic rendering of a traditional oil lamp. The lamp's form, with its bulbous reservoir and elaborate base, is rendered with meticulous shading, capturing the texture and reflectivity of metal. The precise detail and realistic depiction of the lamp suggest a focus on everyday objects and a keen interest in the aesthetics of industrial design.
